Today I did this... Yeah, it's custom.

 

[ibjeepin95]

What, trimmed the fender? Put in an interesting new bumper?

No, the cracked header panel and bent up fender. A tree lashed out at my Jeep.

 

[ibjeepin95]

Did this...

Then this....

which led to this....

 

[ibjeepin95]

So it begins.

Go start it up. Those parts are just extra

 

[ibjeepin95]

god, exo cages are so damn ugly

Thank you SO much for saying that. I swear, it makes an XJ look like a gotch damn jungle gym.....

Driver side rocker went from this.......

To this......

 

[ibjeepin95]

Wheeled it pretty hard thru an obstacle course at a Mud Drag, Tough Truck, Tractor Pull Redneck Bonanza called Wheels a Churnin'

National 4WD sponsored the obstacle course event.

Didn't place, DNF either - 3 stucks, but tested out the new leaf packs and placed around 6th of 11. My class was 37 and under, so at 33's and open/open, I had some pretty stiff competition.

I love these kind of events, looks like you had some fun!

Finished my rockers

Yesterday my brother and my fiend helped me do a zj steering upgrade mount my new bumper and put my front skid plate on

Holy what in the hell is that, Batman!

 

[ibjeepin95]

I bought a used HF pipe kinker. Yay!

 

[ibjeepin95]

for?

What ever I can use it on and not kink. Maybe a rear bumper on my XJ, help my friend build tube fenders for his YJ. Need to do some practicing with it first.

 

[ibjeepin95]

Go on youtube, there's a ton of videos showing cheap ways to improve the HF benders to keep them from kinking.

Thanks man! :thumbsup:

Thanks dude! 90's are going to be needed to build a rear bumper.

 

[ibjeepin95]

stupid.

X2, wb is waaaaay too long for that small of a tire. It would be like wheeling a school bus.

 

[ibjeepin95]

This happened at Crozet...

Guess I'll be reinforcing them to the "frame".

 

[ibjeepin95]

How were they mounted? Any braces from the tube to the unibody?

Nope. Just welded straight to shytmetal. They seemed stout. Some people say they work fine without bracing them. BUT guess it won't work for me. I'll start trying to bend them back tomorrow and then I will brace them.

 

[ibjeepin95]

^^^^ I may do that. I had having a CB on a bracket ready to be broken off.

 

[ibjeepin95]

What are swaybars?

 

[ibjeepin95]

Installed my bumper

I dig it. Your approach angle couldn't get any better with any other winch bumper.
